Hello everyone. New to MCM Forum, came across it when I told my friend I was building my own concept car out of real model components but building my own frame work out of the plastic that holds the parts and other model car frame pieces, i have a dremel and ive already started on the frame work. mostly mocking, did no glueing or using my saudering gun yet. ( will work as good as a plastic welder correct?. ) mostly researching mid engine, rear wheel drive frame work on concept and super cars, so i can start placing the pieces of my own design together and making my image in my mind a reality.
I am 25 years old, i have always been into cars, drawing cars, i can draw well, ill post some pics later of my concept car sketches.
ive always been creative and have been great with my hands, ive always did paint work and autobody on my bikes, 4 wheelers, go kart, when i was young and then when i was 16 , did my real 78 nova, 77 firebird and recently did work on my car i own my, 03 350z.
I went to autobody-welding school and once the welding - autobody classes were finished i removed myself from the school since i only went to learn thoes two subjects and didnt know the rest of the school was other fields, i was already working at a custom autobody shop so i got paid and learned, i then joined the army as a welder- metal worker. didnt do alot of welding after advanced training since i got deployed to iraq for 15 months, a month after getting to my unit, straight out of the 4 months of welding - metal work - fiberglass training, then when i was deployed did a little bit of welding on days where i didnt have to go out on convoys since i drove the wrecker, i was in the recovery section attached to CAV scouts. so we were in bad areas on the road and front lines all the time, but i got out of the army after i got back from iraq due to back issues and PTSD. but its great to be on a site where everyone loves cars and building and being creative, glad to meet everyone!!.
im Johnny by the way.
